The master of superstition, is the people and in all superstition, wise men follow fools and arguments are fitted to practice, in a reversed order.
Francis Bacon
Image
Reading maketh a full man and writing an axact man. And, therefore, if a man write little, he need have a present wit and if he read little, he need have much cunning to seem to know which he doth not.
Francis Bacon
Image
No man's fortune can be an end worthy of his being.
Francis Bacon

It cannot be denied that outward accidents conduce much to fortune, favor, opportunity, death of others, occasion fitting virtue but chiefly, the mold of a man's fortune is in his own hands
